It doesn’t mean it has a worse cooler, but it means it will miss few features

So it's worse, lol.

£200 lol

I doubt there will be a 4Gb 960. Nvidia need a way to distinguish it from it's bigger brothers.

Still if these cards sell for under £200 they will be a fantastic budget card. (£160-£180)

It's already been rumored there will be a 965ti with 4GB.

Personally I don't like the look of what MSI is putting out nowadays.

They topped out with the Twin Frozr III and Twin Frozr IV (though not in red).

You can go back to arguing over 2GB cards now.

They look cheap and tacky now.

What's the point these days of 128bit bus cards? Surely there not gaming cards as they will have trouble with 1080p or more. Especially with any aa applied.

If it was 256bit then it would be decent but 128 cripples it too much doesn't it or is my mindset of 128bit buses from 10 years ago out of date lol.

It is.

To put it in perspective, DDR-200 and DDR4-2800 both have a 64bit bus, but the DDR4 can get 18x as much data down each channel.

To all those moaning about 2GB I think it's extremely likely they will offer 4GB versions not long after launch just like with the 670, 680, 770, and 760 which were all pretty much mid range cards.

So dont lose sleep about the 2GB

its just whether you think it's worth paying the £40 odd extra for the 4GB version or if it makes more sense to just get a 970 or 960Ti if they release one.

Either way we all know these are going to make NVIDIA a lot of money as I'm sure the 970 sales have died down a bit they won't mind selling hundreds of thousands of fresh new cheap to make 960s that will probably clock well and be another big success.

God only knows...

It's like 2GB VRAM in 2015, like being in a time warp.

This. Shame about the wait though. The base 960 is no good to me.

You have no idea how a business model works.

What does this even mean? A business model? What business model?

We don't know how the 960 will perform, but you have already declared it will be a runaway success. You are basing this on what, exactly?

We don't even know how they will price it!

Seriously, this just seems like a very pro-nV bias from yourself.

I do find it odd that people who are happy (presumably) with their own cards can't stand others demanding more from GPU companies.

JustCallMeVlad · 9 Jan 2015 at 15:52

People still complaining about the 2GB vram. It's a 200 dollar card people. Shouldn't expect a lot

Most aren't moronic enough to think/hope a midrange card will be anymore. If it came fully loaded with ram it couldn't possibly use, you lot would moan at the price.

Links an AMD card in £ to prove a card that doesn't exist (yet) won't be priced in dollars.

You, sir, are amazing.

What difference does it make that it's an AMD card?

It does exist. Unless the photos are fakes...do you think that are?

Will anyone be buying it in dollars on this site?

You sir, are ridiculous.

Tell me, why are you so upset that people want more than 2GB of VRAM?

What res do you game at?

MagicBoy · 9 Jan 2015 at 16:27

My God!

It looks just like a graphics card. Shocker!

PS - The link was to show that you can get 3GB VRAM at less than expected prices of the 960, not that it won't be prices in dollars. Next time try reading the post fully.

Tonester0011 · 9 Jan 2015 at 17:23

Yawn!
You're so boring.

Buy the 280 then if ram is important to you, btw...could have bought the card back in 2012 LOL.
Cards are bought in dollars, quoting a sterling price is laughable.
